Description of Services
Cocktail/dinner music & sound production
Just the right music, at just the right volume, helps create the perfect atmosphere. The sound will be monitored to ensure that announcements and toasts are heard clearly. And, with some perfectly timed audio transitions and fillers, there will never be any awkward silences. Plus, everyone will be really entertained as well!
MC services
As an MC/DJ, my job is to create a fun and memorable atmosphere for you and your guests. That is what I do best!
I have hosted hundreds of weddings and events, and I would love to take on that role for you, letting your guests be guests. I will keep everyone informed and entertained with clean humor while keeping everything on track. And bring some extra interactive fun to the table.
Your Love story: One of the most powerful moments in your reception can be the sharing of your Love Story. The story of how the two of you met, and ultimately fell in love. I have narrated many of these stories, and as your MC would love to do this for you!
I do my homework! By finding out some details about you and your wedding party. Your guests will think I am a family friend.
However, if you already have an MC in mind, then I will keep things flowing smoothly in the background and help them shine a little brighter. Then as your DJ, keep the vibe going!

“We couldn’t have been happier not only with Klay’s amazing DJ’ing skills and talent, but he also very much impressed us with his charismatic MC abilities on our wedding day. We had numerous guests approach us during the night and even for days afterwards, letting us know how great he was and how much fun they had! Truly spectacular”. ~ Tyler D.
Dance package
Thanks to the custom online planner, I will know all of your desired songs long before your reception. Then, at the reception, we will play your songs at the right times, take requests from your guests, and read the room (like a pro) to keep the dance-floor busy!
Dance package includes:
- DJ façade, to hide the DJ mixing equipment and wires from view. Stylish, clean, professional.
- Dual, full-range sound system. Perfect for up to 150 ppl. (*)
- Colorful wash dance lighting to provide warmth, energy, and movement on the dance floor. (*)
- Guest requests on the spot. Sometimes the perfect song comes to you when you are dancing to another!
- Licensed (legal) music. No fines for myself, you, or the venue.
“Klay is an amazing DJ. His personality is super up beat and positive. He got people up on the dance floor that I have never seen dance before in my life.” ~ Lisa R.
Surround Sound
Big Screen Entertainment Package
Whether you want photos setting the mood and stirring conversation throughout cocktails and dinner, or a special slideshow/video with music after dinner… with this 6’ x 8’ (108″) rear projection screen, no cables or projector are visible or in anyone’s path. This allows us to continue to use the screen throughout the night to entertain everyone with fun video clips, photos, interactive dance videos (Just Dance) and more!
Food for thought: Not everyone is a dancer, and not everyone is comfortable making conversation with people they may not know. When there are interesting and entertaining things on the big screen it can provide a welcome distraction for those guests. Then you truly have something for everyone! We even have some hilarious family friendly videos to play while everyone is having late night lunch.
*Backup projector and computer are included for guaranteed performance.
Option – Twin Flat Screen package:
- If you’re having a smaller event (under 100 ppl)…
- If there is not enough room for a big screen…
- If your venue is in a bright location…
- If you would like to add to the big screen for additional coverage (divided / larger events)…
- Maybe you’d like one flatscreen for your head table so you don’t all have to move your chairs to see the slide show on the big screen…… we can provide twin 50″ flat screens on 6′ stands.

Superfun photo booth
Fancy schmancy and interactive ‘photo-tainment’ and keepsakes for everyone at your event! (See photo booth page)
Wireless Ceremony
Whether your wedding ceremony is at a Church, wedding venue, backyard, beach, or on a mountainside (been there, done that)—I will provide everything needed to help your ceremony flow smoothly.
If you have any more than 30 guests (especially outdoors) you will require a sound system with microphone(s). Don’t worry, we understand that you don’t want some big speakers on a tripod in your wedding photos, so we will set up our sound equipment so that it does not distract from your thoughtful décor.
A wireless handheld microphone is included for your wedding officiant to use, and a smaller hands-free option is also available (if you prefer a more discrete look).
30 minutes prior to your ceremony we will have romantic background music on to set the mood and welcome your guests as they arrive. We will play your chosen processional, interim, and recessional music at just the right time. After the ceremony, background music will play for 10-15 minutes as guests leave, or if you choose to do a receiving line.
If your ceremony is outdoors, we can provide our own pop-up canopy tent for shade (if it is hot and sunny), and shelter if mother nature decides to shed some tears (‘cause she’s so happy for you). No power? No problem! We can provide our own completely silent power supply!
What if your ceremony is indoors? Well, then we probably won’t bring the pop-up canopy. Seriously though, we can accommodate any space, from a teensy-weensy little chapel on a hill, to a larger hotel space. We will make sure everyone hears your vows clearly.
Ceremony production includes:
- Planning assistance.
- Romantic background music on 30 minutes prior to welcome your guests.
- Full-range dual speaker sound system for up to 150 guests. (*)
- Wireless handheld microphone & stand for the wedding officiant. (*) Option: Upgrade to wireless hands-free clip-on microphones (for a more discrete look).
- Custom welcome, processional, interim, and recessional music.
- Hands-on sound monitoring throughout ceremony.
- 10-15 minutes of background music to send guests off with a smile.
The exact price for your ceremony production will be depend on the location, timeline, equipment required, and power availability. Discuss your dream ceremony with me today, and I will help make the dream come true!
Stress-less wedding planning services
The main thing that helps me do the best job that I can for you is having a solid plan in place. That is why I include an online ‘Q&A for the big day’. This Q&A helps me gather the various details that involve me as your DJ or DJ/MC. This does not replace a wedding planner or Day of Coordinator. What they do is oversee the million and one other things that are important to you, and make sure all of your other vendors are on the same page, and everything is where it needs to be on your wedding day. This takes the pressure off you and puts more pleasure into your wedding experience. Whether it is a super organized and capable family member, friend, or paid professional…when everything important to you is being taken care of by someone you trust, then you can relax and enjoy each moment with your guests… and each other.
If you are in need of a reliable DOC (Day of coordinator), I happen to be married to one! Let me know if you would like pricing info for her services. Even if you are not hiring me as your DJ/MC. I promise, I won’t be jealous! Lol
Day of Coordinator
Hello friend, my name is Alicia. Congratulations on your engagement!
I am a certified Day of Coordinator and have been involved in the wedding industry with my husband (Klay Tate) for more than 15 years. I come from a hospitality industry background and specialize in good communication, planning, and all aspects of managing an event.
As your DOC, I can…
- Help create a timeline for the wedding day so you can sleep knowing what it looks like months ahead of time.
- Be your timekeeper, vendor liaison and that one magical person who makes sure that the Best Man has his speech because NOBODY wants him to wing it! Lol
- Help to coordinate aspects of set up, take down and small details so they get done on time by someone who knows just how you want them.
- Maintain open communication with the vendors, so you can relax with your guests instead of texting the caterer on your big day.
- Attend the rehearsal so everyone knows what they’re doing … and then I will be right there again to help for the real thing just in case someone gets nervous or a little forgetful!
- Be the point person for all questions. You are still the boss, but I am your go-to so that you can relax and enjoy every nugget of your day! After all, it’s YOUR DAY and you deserve to enjoy it!
Service includes:
- Initial phone/video call consultation so you can see if I am a good fit for you.

- Check ins at 2 months, 1 month and 1 week prior to the wedding.
